Actually Unicode 4.0 was officially issued on April 17, 2003.
What we are waiting on now is for the publication of the text
of the book to catch up to that fact. ;-)

I was misled by Jim's
reference to the URL of the final draft (as clearly stamped on the first
page) of 4.0, but since in fact he was quoting from 3.0 what he says can
hardly be considered obsolete yet.
Actually it can. And that would have been obvious to everyone if
a preview version of Chapter 4 had also been posted.
Once again, I appeal to people to stop trying to second-guess
the text of the standard. The final pdf for the online version
is in preparation even as I write this. The final final
proofs for the book itself have already been produced by
the printer -- all they need to do now is turn on the press
and start the binder.
If everyone would just go off for a week or two on their
August vacation, like they should be, we could all come back
about Labor Day and we wouldn't have to be having these
discussions. ;-)

OK, understood now. As the previous version is obsolete, and the new one
is unavailable, we can all take a break from conforming to Unicode at
all and take a vacation! Sounds a good idea to me ;-)
